Image description

Margaret of York (1446-1503) was the third wife of Charles the Bold (1433-77), ruler of Burgundy, and sister to Edward IV (1442-83) and Richard III (1452-85) of England. Her marriage in July 1468 cemented mutual ties of diplomatic friendship and trade agreements between England and the Burgundian territories, which included Flanders. She would have been expected to provide Charles with a male heir; his only surviving child from his previous marriages was Mary of Burgundy (1457-82), who in August 1477 married Maximilian of Austria, later Emperor Maximilian I. The dynastic importance of bearing a son explains Margaret’s devotion to St Anne, patron saint of pregnant women and those who wished to become pregnant. The Guild of St Anne in Ghent, founded in the mid-fifteenth century, offered charitable assistance to encourage remarriage and the subsequent bearing of children, particularly important after the Revolt of Ghent (1449-53) against their Burgundian overlord, Philip the Good (1396-1467), which brought great loss of life. The guild instituted new statutes in 1470, and in 1473 welcomed Margaret as a member, followed in 1476 by her stepdaughter Mary. The guild commissioned and paid for this Register, which lists guild members from the 1470s up to the late eighteenth century, with its handsome illuminated opening for its patroness. On the left-hand page of the opening shown here the four officials of the guild kneel at the foot of the page, while the central panel shows the two royal ladies, Margaret [left] and Mary [right], each kneeling at a prie-dieu adorned with their arms, before a statue of St Anne.
